Abstract
Aim: This study aimed to describe the demographics and outcomes of older adults diagnosed with a pubic rami fracture in an Irish emergency department (ED).
Methods: A retrospective single centre chart review was conducted on all patients diagnosed with pubic rami fracture between 2022 and 2024.
Results: 131 patients with a pubic rami fracture were identified. 89 (67.9%) were aged 65 and older. 67 (75%) were female. 101 (77.1%) patients required admission. For admitted patients, the mean hospital length of stay (days) was also longer in the older cohort compared to the younger cohort (26.2 versus 8.9, p<0.05).
Conclusion: Pubic rami fracture have a preponderance in older female patients and are associated with high admission rates and hospital length of stays.
期刊介绍：
Since its inception in 1867, the Journal of the Medical Association of Ireland and now in its present format, the Irish Medical Journal, has provided the medical community in Ireland with an invaluable service. As one of the leading biomedical publications in Ireland, it has sought to continue the education of medical students and postgraduates through scientific research, review articles and updates on contemporary clinical practices while providing an ongoing forum for medical debate. A measure of our stature is that we are listed in the Index Medicus and issued annually with a citation factor from the Institute for Scientific Information.
